T0 aZZ, lu/to11titmay concern: a, Be it known that I, FELIX SEVERIN \VEs'rEn, a, citizen of the State of Finland, resident of Vaasa, Finland, have in-vented anew and useful Glotheshook; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact ;description ofthe same.

This invention relates to improvements in portable supports 'for clothes, one feature Q ment wherebyth; hook may be mounted on a rod or pipe instead of on wood-work by.

l venientp I r i A 'further feature is the provlslon of a protecting cap for thesh'arp point adapted 30. 7

" tion on the ,sharppoint. v V v Fig. :2 isa front view of the'hookshown V in Fig.1"; i

of the invention being the provision of a, one-piece S-shaped hook having atfone tor -f minal thereof a sharp point adapted to pierce the support for the hook and whereby the hook is suspended from said support, and having at. the other terminal thereof a smooth ball-shaped member to' prevent the surface on the part. of the lower loop which engages with the support for the hook to I prei ent' the hook from turning about the sharp. point.

Another feature is an improved arrangethe sharppoint, in-caseswhere' this is eon tofl fric'tionally engage the point, andfleXible means, preferably a chain, for connect-" 1 ing the cap to the body of the hook, one

end of the flexible member being con nected to the body of the hook and the other end beingconnected to'the cap. The chain is adapted to bridge and close the upper loop of the S-sha'p'ed hook when in position on the cap. When the hook is supported bymeans of thefupper loop and the cap isreplaced on the point, the flexible member will 'preven'tthe'accidental removal of the hook from-the rod or pipesupport.

In theaccompanying drawings:

be made flat as shown in Fig. 1, or fiat and extended as shown 1n Fig. 3.

7 It will be. seen that this flat surface will tend to pre- 7 on the hook and'which serves to protect the it clothes from being torn-by the hook vent the hook fromturning, especially. if

the fiat surface is extended as shown in Fig. 3. I V A protecting cap e is adapted to be'jplac'ed on and to fric'tionally engage the point d,

.so as to protect both the'point itself and'the i pocket of the person carryingfithe hook. This cape isfconnected to thebodybf the hook jby means-ofa chain'f, one endof which is secured to'the body of the hook'and the'otherend of which is secured to the cap.
